Chris Wallace Says the Biden Presidency is ‘Not in Good Shape’: He ‘Doesn’t Have Enough Juice’ to Get Things Done

RUSH TRANSCRIPT HEMMER yesterday ░░░░░░░░ we did here in ░░░░░░░░ York You were on ░░░░░░░░ phone call with a ░░░░░░░░ of reporters from the ░░░░░░░░ House as well getting ░░░░░░░░ take on it Where ░░░░░░░░ you think the Biden ░░░░░░░░ is now after yesterday ░░░░░░░░ then last night WALLACE ░░░░░░░░ Not in good shape ░░░░░░░░ the fact of the ░░░░░░░░ is that that Joe ░░░░░░░░ doesn t have enough ░░░░░░░░ not with Republicans he ░░░░░░░░ t have enough juice ░░░░░░░░ his own party Because ░░░░░░░░ this has nothing to ░░░░░░░░ with Republicans This is ░░░░░░░░ that his party could ░░░░░░░░ He doesn t have ░░░░░░░░ juice with his own ░░░░░░░░ it s twice in ░░░░░░░░ month he has gone ░░░░░░░░ to the Hill met ░░░░░░░░ the House democratic caucus ░░░░░░░░ with them to pass ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure bill and in ░░░░░░░░ said I m going ░░░░░░░░ cover you I got ░░░░░░░░ back on this big ░░░░░░░░ and spend I guess ░░░░░░░░ s now down to ░░░░░░░░ 75 trillion And as ░░░░░░░░ just saw in Chad ░░░░░░░░ piece the left wing ░░░░░░░░ the party that s ░░░░░░░░ enough for them I ░░░░░░░░ been covering Washington Bill ░░░░░░░░ 40 years and you ░░░░░░░░ t put the president ░░░░░░░░ a room maybe with ░░░░░░░░ foreign leader you do ░░░░░░░░ certainly not with members ░░░░░░░░ his own party unless ░░░░░░░░ know what the result ░░░░░░░░ going to be And ░░░░░░░░ and you normally know ░░░░░░░░ result because either people ░░░░░░░░ too supportive of him ░░░░░░░░ too scared of him ░░░░░░░░ buck him But that ░░░░░░░░ not true with Joe ░░░░░░░░ He goes up there ░░░░░░░░ he says my presidency ░░░░░░░░ the House and Senate ░░░░░░░░ majorities will be determined ░░░░░░░░ what happens he said ░░░░░░░░ the next week but ░░░░░░░░ really wanted it yesterday ░░░░░░░░ they ignore him They ░░░░░░░░ give him the back ░░░░░░░░ their hand So that ░░░░░░░░ not a good sign ░░░░░░░░ a president when he ░░░░░░░░ t have enough juice ░░░░░░░░ the members of his ░░░░░░░░ party to get an ░░░░░░░░ bill passed BANDERAS All ░░░░░░░░ Let s move on ░░░░░░░░ the governor race in ░░░░░░░░ I want to look ░░░░░░░░ the poll and then ░░░░░░░░ you react to it ░░░░░░░░ s interesting to watch ░░░░░░░░ s going on here ░░░░░░░░ Fox News poll on ░░░░░░░░ race shows Republican Glenn ░░░░░░░░ has pulled ahead of ░░░░░░░░ McCauliffe less than a ░░░░░░░░ before the election This ░░░░░░░░ a big shift Chris ░░░░░░░░ just two weeks ago ░░░░░░░░ McCauliffe was ahead by ░░░░░░░░ Is Virginia a bellwether ░░░░░░░░ mid terms and what ░░░░░░░░ 2022 candidates learn from ░░░░░░░░ tactics used from each ░░░░░░░░ WALLACE We ll have ░░░░░░░░ see The poll is ░░░░░░░░ news for Youngkin bad ░░░░░░░░ for McCauliffe We ll ░░░░░░░░ to see what actually ░░░░░░░░ next Tuesday I think ░░░░░░░░ are some lessons One ░░░░░░░░ that attacking Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ Terry McCauliffe has and ░░░░░░░░ Newsom in the recall ░░░░░░░░ t a sure fire ░░░░░░░░ for Democrats to energize ░░░░░░░░ Democratic base Education is ░░░░░░░░ powerful issue and parents ░░░░░░░░ in their kids education ░░░░░░░░ saw suburban women really ░░░░░░░░ away from the Republican ░░░░░░░░ in their opposition or ░░░░░░░░ with Trump policies and ░░░░░░░░ It may be that ░░░░░░░░ is a really effective ░░░░░░░░ for Republicans to win ░░░░░░░░ back Let me say ░░░░░░░░ you think that the ░░░░░░░░ agenda is having a ░░░░░░░░ time right now and ░░░░░░░░ is if Terry McCauliffe ░░░░░░░░ a state that Joe ░░░░░░░░ won by 10 points ░░░░░░░░ year ago in the ░░░░░░░░ election if it goes ░░░░░░░░ a Republican against a ░░░░░░░░ former governor Terry McCauliffe ░░░░░░░░ Tuesday you will see ░░░░░░░░ run for the hills ░░░░░░░░ they are going to ░░░░░░░░ to go as far ░░░░░░░░ from Joe Biden and ░░░░░░░░ democratic agenda as they ░░░░░░░░ If it was tough ░░░░░░░░ pass these bills in ░░░░░░░░ this week We don ░░░░░░░░ know what is going ░░░░░░░░ happen If McCauliffe loses ░░░░░░░░ will be tougher next ░░░░░░░░ HEMMER A very difficult ░░░░░░░░ for this administration Go ░░░░░░░░ to the point going ░░░░░░░░ the room with House ░░░░░░░░ yesterday Maybe he was ░░░░░░░░ the squeeze on them ░░░░░░░░ my administration is on ░░░░░░░░ line If you want ░░░░░░░░ get reelected you have ░░░░░░░░ vote for this thing ░░░░░░░░ progressive caucus at 5 ░░░░░░░░ yesterday came out 96 ░░░░░░░░ now and said we ░░░░░░░░ t going forward until ░░░░░░░░ present both bills at ░░░░░░░░ same time And you ░░░░░░░░ at that social spending ░░░░░░░░ Chris and start to ░░░░░░░░ into the details it ░░░░░░░░ massively complex Then you ░░░░░░░░ at the pay fors ░░░░░░░░ the taxation side We ░░░░░░░░ never done it that ░░░░░░░░ before 15 of profits ░░░░░░░░ a company that makes ░░░░░░░░ billion dollars or if ░░░░░░░░ are a millionaire making ░░░░░░░░ than 10 million a ░░░░░░░░ it s 3 surtax ░░░░░░░░ on it goes When ░░░░░░░░ think about the complexity ░░░░░░░░ now sitting on the ░░░░░░░░ you wonder if the ░░░░░░░░ hold together if both ░░░░░░░░ these bills go down ░░░░░░░░ is your view on ░░░░░░░░ WALLACE It is certainly ░░░░░░░░ For all the president ░░░░░░░░ talk about a framework ░░░░░░░░ is just an outline ░░░░░░░░ could see there were ░░░░░░░░ on both sides saying ░░░░░░░░ Sanders says I m ░░░░░░░░ satisfied with it Kristin ░░░░░░░░ says I don t ░░░░░░░░ family leave out of ░░░░░░░░ There is a lot ░░░░░░░░ negotiating to go on ░░░░░░░░ these bills The only ░░░░░░░░ they will pass something ░░░░░░░░ because the political impact ░░░░░░░░ passing nothing Some people ░░░░░░░░ exaggerated some people would ░░░░░░░░ if he gets neither ░░░░░░░░ these bills through it ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ presidency in year one ░░░░░░░░ most presidents get things ░░░░░░░░ You have the wait ░░░░░░░░ see If and again ░░░░░░░░ he didn t get ░░░░░░░░ through I think it ░░░░░░░░ be really damaging to ░░░░░░░░ and the Democrats which ░░░░░░░░ why I think they ░░░░░░░░ end up passing something ░░░░░░░░ think the political alternative ░░░░░░░░ unacceptable BANDERAS This is ░░░░░░░░ surprise A P poll ░░░░░░░░ showing Biden s handling ░░░░░░░░ spending negotiations ain t ░░░░░░░░ so well A lot ░░░░░░░░ people disapprove of it ░░░░░░░░ in point.”
